I have tried on numerous occasions within the last few = hours to install fc3. I won't say that I've had no success because on = hitting the enter key or the space bar, there is definitely disk = activity. The problem i am getting is that Speakup will not effectively = communicate with my external dectalk synth. Just as a precautionary measure, I type in the usual command to get = speakup to talk through my dectalk external synth and add the serial = port info which is the default com port 1 to the command so speakup can = look for the port onto which my dectalk express is connected: text speakup_synth=3Ddectlk speakup_ser=3D0 but each time i try booting up fedora, my dectalk express refuses to = speak. On occasions, I get a smattering of speach, some garble i don't = understand, and that was when I've given more than one minute for = dectalk to start speaking. And this garble comes up when i hit the = space bar after the time frame in which dectalk is supposed to speak = passes. There is no speech after that garble, but there is definitely = disk activity. There was once when I hit the tab key afew times and = pressed enter, the disk was ejected from my system, which goes to show = that the installation process did indeed take place. SSo i am at my = wit's end and need help and advice here. Just as a note, i downloaded = the most current version of fedora, and all files seem to be in place. = I can't do an md5 sum check with windows though as I neither have the = program nor the knowledge to do so. Also, I did try booting fedora = using the boot.iso disk as well.
